When is the "big one" coming?

Everyone keeps talking about the fact the we're long overdue for a major earthquake, but can anyone give some scientific reasons why/when/where its going to happen? Please back your answer up with credible, scientific evidence/fact(s). Thanks!

Geologist Predicts Earthquake, Meteorologist Says The Pattern is Right

Earthquakes are unpredictable, however one geologist has a window for them that lands in a dominating January ridge similar to the Northridge quake year.

Jim Berkland, a geologist residing out of Northern California knows earthquakes. Berkland predicted the famous World Series Quake of 1989 that hit the San Francisco Bay area. Berkland is no stranger to predicting earthquakes. In fact, he gives monthly windows based on moon positions and tidal forces.

Berkland has released his January earthquake window. "The first seismic window of the year is only a little less potent than last month's, which had the strongest tidal forces since 1993, "said Berkland. "Jan. 08-15, 2009 is marked by Golden Gate tides of 8.9 ft. only a little below the max. possible range of 9.2 ft.The full Moon of Jan 10 is only 16 hours away from the 2nd closest perigee of the year and 6 days after the Earth/Sun perihelion of Jan 4."

While many agree that earthquake prediction is impossible, Meteorologist Kevin Martin of the Southern California Weather Authority begs to differ. "I've noticed that weather patterns affect our fault lines, "said Martin. "In fact, during the Northridge Quake of 1994 a large ridge of high pressure was parked in the exact same spot one will be during our next Santa Ana Wind event. The window for that is January 9th to the 14th. This is exactly in Geologist Jim Berkland's window. So any bets on the table for a larger quake would be during that window."

Martin does not predict quakes, however states that the weather conditions that do help trigger them in his research will be present during Geologist Jim Berkland's seismic window.

"I'm not saying to my viewers to run because a Northridge style quake is coming, "said Martin. "But I must say the pattern is nearly identical to it, and if weather patterns are any indication of a quake delivery then always be prepared. In light of Mr. Berkland's window falling in this weather pattern, I have taken the measure to prepare in case a quake hits. You always have to be prepared."

I am assuming that you are talking about California earthquakes as that is where the term "the big one" usually revers to. Also we need to clarify what constitutes" a big one". According to the USGS, California has a 99% chance of a magnitude 6.7 or larger earthquake in the next 30 years. More to the point the same study gives California a 46% chance of a 7.5 or larger quake (more likely to be described as "the big one") during the same time span and specifies that it will most likely be in the southern part of the state. Anything more specific than that is pure guess work.

We are standing in the Holy judgement and mankind is now reaping that which it has sown over past millennia. Never before in the history of mankind has there been such a proliferation and acceleration of so-called 'natural' catastrophies.
These will become more even more pronounced and more deadly over the coming years and nothing little man tries to do now can alter anything; it is too late for that.
The main cause for these upheavals is: A Comet! It's radiations already have this earth in its grip.
It is of exactly the same consistency as the Star of Bethlehem and contains spiritual power. It will become visible to mankind when it passes into the gross material world of our universe and is to be expected relatively soon. When it appears on the scene the upheavals on this earth will become terrifying. It will lift the waters up high and the earth will tremble and shake, volcanic activity will increase. The greater part of mankind will be lost.
I do not speak from fiction but from knowledge! This is the time of the harvest of all spirits in this part of creation. The so-called experts have no knowledge of this as they have often or always denied the existence of God. Their erroneous beliefs, however, cannot change the final outcome. Mankind has been warned about this for thousands of years but even ignored, villified and then murdered the Son of God.
I wish all readers who are genuinely concerned and whose hearts and minds are not closed to what is happening today to seek fervently for the Truth. It exists on this earth today but is not to be found amongst the religions of this earth. Seek and ye shall find! Knock and the door shall be opened to you!
